Challenge 009: Zoom Out

Challenge 009
theme challenge
Zoom Out
⭐📽️⭐

For this round we can create a pair of two icons where one crop is zoomed out or looks farther away than the first one.
To enter this time, you must create one pair of two (2) icons minimum.
The icons must be in pairs of two to demonstrate the "zoom out" effect. So you'll have to make 2, 4, 6 or 8 icons as separate pairs.
The closeness and the distance of the crops in the icon pairs is your choice, as long as the second of the two icons shows a crop or shot that looks to be farther than the first one of the first icon.
Please label which of your icons are the "zoomed out" ones.

Important: You may only use the same picture/screen cap two times (2 ×) per entry.
You are not required to repeat any of the same screen caps in your pairs.

Behind the cut are seven icon pairs to demonstrate the challenge theme.

Note: I know we are not technically zooming in and out (magnifying) because we're using different images but it's a good title for a challenge.

OMG there's tons of great caps I want to use from April ! I've saved 12 so far, this is going to be hard to choose... lol

[luminousdaze]

I know, there are at least three caps of Baby Yoda. I was thinking allowing four pairs, so we could pick eight caps, but I decided it was too many. Though, I usually allow 7 icons per challenge anyways. Do you think I should change it now, to 4 pairs/8 icons for anyone who wants to attempt making that many icons?

[alexia_drake]

Well, 8 is just one more icon than what we can normally make, so it would probably not make a big difference. The members rarely submit the maximum of icons, some often make 3, so they might make only 2 or 4. It's Up to you, I can also use the caps for other challenges elsewhere.

[luminousdaze]

I changed it to four pairs. :)

[tinny]

The first person who entered made pairs from the same screencap - but that's not a requirement, right? I'm just a little bit confused now.

p.s.: thanks for using one of my icons as inspo! <3

[luminousdaze]

No, it is not required to make icons from the same screen cap, all your icons may be of a different screen caps. Exactly like I set up the demo pairs, no repeats of images at all are needed. ^_^ Making the icons in pairs of two, is just a way to compare the distance of the views/crops between them. So, the maximum number of screen caps that could be used this time is eight.

But, if you do want to use the same image, it is allowed, but only for two icons.

You're welcome for the inspo part! 😊 I wanted to show a Star Trek pair, since there a few Trek caps for this round.🖖 Also, Earl Grey tea is very delicious, I think I'm going to make a cup right now! 😋☕

[tinny]

Thank you for explaining! <3

Also, Earl Grey tea is very delicious

I agree! I just looked it up, and I did make that icon for your_favourites for the favorite drink round! :DD (round 07. 2016. omg.)

[luminousdaze]

Sure! :)
I think I'd have too many favorite drinks to pick. Even sorted by hot & cold.

[tinny]

That is quite literally the hardest (and also the most fun) part of that challenge. I regularly spend ten days dithering over the decision and then one day making the icons. :D
